Boyz back at 'Office'
THE INTERNATIONAL football famine is about to come to an end for fans of Jamaica's Reggae Boyz as they make a highly anticipated return to the National Stadium this evening to take on CONCACAF rivals, El Salvador, at 6:00 p.m.
Five long months have passed since the national team took part in their last international friendly, a forgettable 8-1 mauling at the hands of 46th-ranked Iran, during an ill-fated tour of Asia.
On the same trip, the team - then ranked 68th in the world - also suffered losses to Vietnam and Indonesia teams, ranked in the 140s.

A confident Reggae Boyz outfit will tackle El Salvador in an international friendly at the National Stadium today, starting at 6:00 pm, which marks the beginning of a new era under Captain Horace Burrell.
Jamaica, guided by interim coach Theodore 'Tappa' Whitmore, will be playing their first game at "The Office" since June 5, 2007, when they lost 0-1 to Chile before their disastrous Asian sojourn later that month.
